This has some of the visual style of director Ridley Scott’s earlier work, but unfortunately that’s about it. The story is an uninspiring bit about a mook detective (Tom Berenger) who gets stuck on bodyguard duty for a wealthy woman (Mimi Rogers) who witnessed a murder. Naturally the two fall in love, much to the chagrin of the guy’s wife (Lorraine Bracco). The contrast between the cop’s lower-class neighborhood and the socialite’s Art Deco towers makes for some fun visual work, but otherwise there just isn’t much to this. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
